This month’s focus is on the brain and its remarkable capacity to foster new habits and influence our bodies. With a podcast exploring brain habits and neuroplasticity, our newsletter this month is adding another layer and exploring the impact our thinking habits have on our wellbeing and the results aren’t …
There will always be days when you don’t want to do the things on your list. In those moments we have to honor our goals by showing up in commitment to them. Only when that commitment drives us can we truly succeed. Only when we allow commitment to propel us forward will we be able to show up consistently and follow through on our goals.
There is no room for “wanting” to do it; it’s only a question of whether you will or won’t.
What the pandemic taught me about taking action on my goals and how to follow through even when you don’t want to.
In my work as a coach, it is rare that a client isn’t stuck in some form of the IDK quagmire. They want more time or more balance, they want a new career, they want a different relationship with others, etc. but they JUST. DON’T. KNOW. HOW. to get there.
Many of my clients embrace perfectionism in one way or another. Outwardly, they appear successful and confident but their inner dialogues are filled with self-judgments and whole host of “shoulds” — things they should have done better, perfectly.

Most of us make those decisions automatically, without much thought. But what about the decisions that really FEEL like decisions? The types of decisions that keep you up at night with anxiety or rob your afternoon of several hours spent fretting over the options. When it comes to big decisions, what is the best approach?
Once you know what you want in your life, how do you make it happen? Today’s blog explores the critical step to transform your list of dreams into a list of accomplishments.
The first and most critical step to go from wanting to do something to actually getting it done.
Procrastination much? We all do it from time to time and, with effort, we can develop different habits. Dare I say, we can stop procrastinating for good?
Whether we admit it or not, we all make excuses from time to time. Lately, I have been seeing so many more excuses founded in the pandemic. It’s easy to blame the pandemic for our weight gain, bad habits, and not taking action. It’s easy to buy into these statements and carry them with us as our justifications for not taking action. But the pandemic is not to blame for your inaction. None of your excuses are factual. They are simply opinions; opinions that are keeping you from living the life you really want.
